"Cloaking" stop words

Is it OK with G?

Is it OK to use a small javascript to display stop words on a page so that the words are not actually contained in the code of the page? Would G think this is "fooling" them?

I've started doing this but I'm afraid I might be taking a chance by doing so. The only drawback to this idea is that the stop words don't show to users with javascript turned off, but as this would only be used occasionally, I consider that a minor side-effect.

Thanks.

just curious....

If you know they are stop words, why use them. Do you have that may that you need to cloak them and not simply replace them. Are they that relevant to your topic?

list a few

It's a news site. I'm finding "charity" related stories trigger the psa's. But I still want my readers to be able to read these stories.
